Some mischievous Boys were playing
on the edge of a pond, and, catching sight of some
Frogs swimming about in the shallow water, they began
to amuse themselves by pelting them with stones, and
they killed several of them. At last one of the
Frogs put his head out of the water and said, “Oh,
stop! stop! I beg of you: what is sport to
you is death to us.”
